How can a material sorting + packaging + boxing line help food factories increase their production capacity by 40%?

In the food processing industry, when it comes to increasing production capacity, many companies first think of "overtime", "expanding staff" and "changing to faster machines".
But in fact, the production capacity bottleneck is often not in the core processing equipment, but in the neglected packaging link.

Especially for small and medium-sized food factories, there are still a lot of "manual" operation processes in the packaging production line, such as product sorting, arranging, bagging, boxing... These seemingly simple actions have become hidden obstacles to increasing production capacity over time.

Why does the packaging link slow down the overall pace?
Food packaging is not simply "packing a bag", it includes multiple sub-processes:

After the products are piled up in disorder, they need to be sorted first to achieve automatic lane separation, positioning, and alignment

Then enter the packaging section to complete the metering, filling, sealing and other processes

Then weighing, weight checking, metal inspection, and rejection are required

Finally, it is necessary to pack and package the finished products for shipment

The traditional manual cooperation method is prone to the following problems:

Manual material sorting cannot keep up with the upstream beat, resulting in material accumulation and jamming

The packaging rhythm is limited by the operator's speed, and the efficiency fluctuates greatly

The error rate is high during the packing process, and wrong and insufficient loading occur frequently

The debugging process is long and the line is frequently stopped during production change

These problems may seem "non-core", but they directly limit the continuity and stability of the production line.

The linkage of the entire line is the key path to unlocking efficiency
To truly improve packaging efficiency, the key is not how fast a single device runs, but whether the entire production line is coordinated, stable, and controllable.

This is the advantage of the integrated design of "material sorting + packaging + packing".

Take Maike Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. as an example. It has customized a complete set of automated packaging production lines for many food companies, including:

Automatic material sorting system: Through dividers, dial wheels, servo grippers, etc., disordered materials are accurately arranged to achieve seamless connection with the upstream production line rhythm

Intelligent packaging equipment: Suitable for high-speed packaging machines for various categories such as biscuits, cakes, fast food, etc., which can realize automatic metering, forming, sealing, and coding integration

Intelligent packing system: Combining visual recognition and multi-axis robotic arms, flexible packing can be completed according to different product forms and packing specifications

In actual applications, companies can usually achieve the following through whole-line deployment:
